In Year admissions - How to apply for a place in Reception (Upper Foundation) to Year 6 at Featherstone All Saints C of E Academy
All applications made outside the normal admissions round (i.e. in-year applications) for community and voluntary controlled schools should be made on Wakefield’s Common Application Form, which is available from the School Admissions Team. Applications will be processed in accordance with the “In- Year Co-ordination Scheme”. Parents can express up to 5 school preferences.
Where there are sufficient places, an application will normally be agreed. The admission number for a school is set for the school’s in-take year. As a general rule, this admission number then remains with that year group as it moves through the school. There may be exceptions, for example, if accommodation in a school is removed, then the admission number may change for subsequent year groups.
If a place is not available, a refusal letter is sent outlining the right of appeal. If the application is from a Wakefield resident, then a place will be allocated at the next nearest community and voluntary controlled school with places. If the child is already attending a Wakefield school an alternative school will not be offered. The child’s name will be added to the waiting list. All waiting lists are re-ranked when new applicants have been added. Should a vacancy arise at the school, the place will be offered to the child at the top of the waiting list.
